fax - RingCentral PHP FaxOut API example -

i started looking @ ringcentral api

i little confused on how expect data.

i tried first curl using:

    $url = ' https://service.ringcentral.com/faxapi.asp';     $faxdata = array();     $faxdata['username'] = 'xxxxxxxx';     $faxdata['password'] = 'xxxxxxxx';     $faxdata['recipient'] = $faxnumber.'|test';     $faxdata['attachment'] = root_path.$filelocation;      // build url encoded string     $fields_string='';     foreach($faxdata $key=>$value) {         $fields_string .= $key.'='.urlencode($value).'&';     }     rtrim($fields_string, '&');      //open connection     $ch = curl_init();     //set url, number of post vars, post data     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true);     curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_ssl_verifypeer, false);      curl_setopt($ch,curlopt_url, $url);     curl_setopt($ch,curlopt_post, count($faxdata));     curl_setopt($ch,curlopt_postfields, $faxdata);      //execute post     $result = curl_exec($ch);     $err = curl_errno ( $ch );     $errmsg = curl_error ( $ch );     $header = curl_getinfo ( $ch );     $httpcode = curl_getinfo ( $ch, curlinfo_http_code );      //close connection     curl_close($ch); 

then tried sending email using number@ringcentral.com , still unable work @ all. support site useless see many unanswered questions have no choice , need working.

i hoping has done in php , can provide me example or point me in right path.

i able original code work doing 2 things:

(1) removing leading space $url:

# original $url = ' https://service.ringcentral.com/faxapi.asp';  # new $url = 'https://service.ringcentral.com/faxapi.asp'; 

(2) ensuring root_path began @ specified in php documentation curlopt_postfields @ http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php.

curl , guzzle examples

here examples using curl , guzzle verified work.
